BACKGROUND: At low concentrations used for in-office bleaching gels, such as 6% HP, gingival barrier continues to be performed. If we take into account that, in the at-home bleaching technique, no barrier is indicated, it seems that the use of a gingival barrier fails to make much sense when bleaching gel in low concentration is used for in-office bleaching. OBJECTIVE: This double-blind, split-mouth, randomized clinical trial evaluated the gingival irritation (GI) of in-office bleaching using 6% hydrogen peroxide (HP) with and without a gingival barrier in adolescents, as well as color change and the impact of oral condition on quality of life...

Physical disability is a common component of post-intensive care syndrome, but the importance of musculoskeletal health in this population is currently unknown. We aimed to determine the musculoskeletal health state of intensive care unit survivors and assess its relationship with health-related quality of life; employment; and psychological and physical function. We conducted a multicentre prospective cohort study of adults admitted to intensive care for > 48 h without musculoskeletal trauma or neurological insult...

BACKGROUND: Computational psychiatry has the potential to advance the diagnosis, mechanistic understanding, and treatment of mental health conditions. Promising results from clinical samples have led to calls to extend these methods to mental health risk assessment in the general public; however, data typically used with clinical samples are neither available nor scalable for research in the general population. Digital phenotyping addresses this by capitalizing on the multimodal and widely available data created by sensors embedded in personal digital devices (eg, smartphones) and is a promising approach to extending computational psychiatry methods to improve mental health risk assessment in the general population...

It is widely demonstrated that moderate-intensity exercise is associated with improved fitness in non-communicable chronic diseases. However, there are no specific guidelines available for transplant recipients. Body composition is closely linked to exercise capacity, typically estimated by cardiopulmonary testing, but its potential correlation with cardiovascular health outcomes has not been investigated yet. This study aims to evaluate and compare cardiorespiratory performance and body composition in two groups of liver and kidney transplant recipients...

Sleep and circadian rhythm disturbance are predictors of poor physical and mental health, including dementia. Long-term digital technology-enabled monitoring of sleep and circadian rhythms in the community has great potential for early diagnosis, monitoring of disease progression, and assessing the effectiveness of interventions. Before novel digital technology-based monitoring can be implemented at scale, its performance and acceptability need to be evaluated and compared to gold-standard methodology in relevant populations...

BACKGROUND: Timely and comprehensive collection of a patient's medication history in the emergency department (ED) is crucial for optimizing health care delivery. The implementation of a medication history sharing program, titled "Patient's In-home Medications at a Glance," in a tertiary teaching hospital aimed to efficiently collect and display nationwide medication histories for patients' initial hospital visits. OBJECTIVE: As an evaluation was necessary to provide a balanced picture of the program, we aimed to evaluate both care process outcomes and humanistic outcomes encompassing end-user experience of physicians and pharmacists...

BACKGROUND: Pelvic organ prolapse is a common debilitating condition worldwide. Despite surgical treatment, its recurrence can reach up to 30%. It has multiple risk factors, some of which are particular for a low-resource settings. The identification these factors would help to devise risk models allowing the development of prevention policies. The objective of this study was to explore risk factors for pelvic organ prolapse in a population in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)...

Social determinants of health (SDOH) influence patient outcomes and risk assessment. This study focuses on interpersonal violence, trauma outcomes, and SDOH. We hypothesized patients with lower SDOH experience worse trauma outcomes and present from higher-risk communities. Demographics, SDOH, and outcomes for patients admitted to surgical trauma suffering interpersonal violence were collected and analyzed. Home addresses were plotted, identifying areas of need compared with Area Deprivation Index (ADI). Only 18...

Due to the increasing evidence of widespread sub-micron pollutants in the atmosphere, the impact of airborne nanoparticles is a subject of great relevance. In particular, the smallest particles are considered the most active and dangerous, having a higher surface/volume ratio. Here we tested the effect of iron oxide (Fe3 O4 ) nanoparticles (IONPs) with different mean diameter and size distribution on the model plant Tillandsia usneoides. Strands were placed in home-built closed boxes and exposed to levels of airborne IONPs reported for the roadside air, i...

The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine has caused serious challenges for healthcare workers (HCWs) and HIV-related healthcare services. This study assessed the effects of the invasion on HCWs wellbeing and on continuity of HIV services, using in-depth interviews with HCWs from facilities offering HIV antiretroviral therapy (ART) and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) services in the Donetsk region of Eastern Ukraine. A directed content analysis, with both inductive and deductive approaches, was conducted. Ten HCWs (6 [60%] doctors, 4 [40%] nurses; 9 [90%] female) were interviewed...

Falls among older adults (OAs) living in retirement homes (RHs) in Canada are a major public health concern due to high morbidity and mortality as well as significant healthcare expenditures. This quality improvement (QI) initiative, conducted for the author's Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project, aimed to decrease fall rates and ED transfers related to falls among OAs in six RHs across the Greater Toronto Area in Ontario, Canada through a multipart intervention with two primary goals. First, the project aimed to facilitate RH NPs' implementation of a comprehensive fall risk assessment and fall prevention strategy in their practice by incorporating the Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths & Injuries (STEADI) toolkit into their armamentarium...

Background: Aging correlates with increased frailty, multi-morbidity, and chronic diseases. Furthermore, treating the aged often entails polypharmacy to achieve optimal disease management, augmenting medication-related problems (MRPs). Few guidelines and tools address the problem of polypharmacy and MRPs, mainly within the institutionalized elderly population. Routine pharmacological review is needed among institutionalized patients. This pharmacological review may improve with a multidisciplinary approach of a collaboration of multiple health professionals...
